You’re essentially a member of their team, and usually do whatever work they do - you don’t usually consult.

In my experience, it’s more common in GPS. Projects that call themselves “long term” or program or project management, tend to be staff aug.

IMO staff aug has some advantages: usually fewer hours, work tends to be a little easier. But it gets boring quick. And you’re essentially doing your client’s job for them which can be mind numbing.

Staff Aug isn’t always bad. I’m on a staff Aug project, and my day doesn’t start until 9:45am and rarely goes beyond 5pm. I probably only work 35-40 hours a week. I work at a tech client so we follow their more laid back working hours. I still get paid a consultant salary, while my colleagues within the same practice work 60-70hours doing more traditional consulting engagements.

This is very true of staff Aug roles. Good WLB!

Staff Aug = hell in a hand basket. Usually, project, program, product manager type roles. I'm on a staff aug for change mgmt and my client is driving me crazy. They want me to ghost write emails then they provide "feedback" on the text. Luckily, I'm off within the next week
